When you're building apps for your day job, you've got a laundry list of things to consider: architecture, scalability, uptime, cloud hosting, and the list goes on. But let's talk about your personal projects—those little gems you whip up for fun, maybe to share with friends or who knows, maybe it'll go viral!

Enter PocketBase: the "Open Source Backend in 1 File" that provides a NoSQL database, user authentication, file storage, and even real-time syncing across devices, right out of the box.

In this talk, I'll show you how I use PocketBase (plus a dash of React) to fast-track my apps to beta users. No more stressing about user logins, keeping data safe, or managing updates across devices. And forget about worrying over server costs—let's just get your app out there and worry about the rest later!

This is 100-level introduction to Pocketbase, targeting web devs.
